Abstract: Provided are methods of treating skin with at least two alternating treatment modalities to improve the health and/or diminish signs of aging. Some methods according to the present invention may comprise topically applying at least two separate compositions, in a sequential, rotating, or alternating fashion to overcome adaptation, tolerance, or sensitization phenomena.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a dried rehydratable composition, containing a gelling agent, and a pharmaceutical or cosmetic active ingredient; Further described is a method of rehydrating a dried rehydratable composition, which may be used as a skin benefiting material and may be formulated as a cream, gel, hydrogel, gel or hydrogel patch, mask (including face-mask), lotion, leave-on or rinse-off cosmetic or pharmaceutical product.

Abstract: Provided are methods of determining the aging of skin or skin disorders or conditions by measuring and evaluating levels of skin-associated biomarker proteins in a subject's skin sample. In aspects, the levels of a subset of biomarker proteins are altered, e.g., increased or decreased, in aging/aged versus non-aging/young skin. Provided are methods for more individualized and direct treatments and therapeutic options for aging skin and/or skin disorders and conditions by determining the levels of those skin biomarker proteins that correlate with aging skin and/or certain skin attributes of a subject and administering treatment products and regimens that result in altering the levels of the biomarker proteins, in particular, toward levels of the proteins in non-aged and healthy skin.
